of America's communication lines.

Black Spectre and aboard the zeppelin, Mandrill placed a large idol of himself
in front of the White House, then entered the building, sitting in the
president's chair when Daredevil attacked him. Mandrill and Daredevil battled on
the roof until the zeppelin exploded and Daredevil knocked Mandrill to the
ground, briefly thinking him dead, but Mandrill managed to escape.
